Jim Elliott, the new global chief creative officer of Arnold Worldwide, and voiceover artist Paul Guyet made these two amusing videos (in what looks like Michael's house from GTA5) explaining how to win a 2015 Radio Mercury Award—by demonstrating all the terrible radio ad clichés that will guarantee failure.

Marketing apologies continue to rack up in numbers, but the latest one from Krispy Kreme U.K. puts the icing on the donuts. Perhaps those running campaigns get anxious and pull the trigger on search, display, email and social campaigns a bit too soon.

They work part-time jobs—because that is what they’ve been offered—and live at home long after they graduate. They’re not getting married or having kids.

Neal Hoffman believes he has a brand he can build on. In addition to taking the product -- a stuffed doll named Moshe the Mensch, a bench, and a book that teaches kids about Hanukkah -- on "Shark Tank" to seek additional investment money, he's busy selling the cute little Moshe as hard as he can heading into this year's Festival of Lights.
